The #WomenOfNAHRO breakfast may have started before the crack of dawn today, but the support, energy, and fist bumps were straight from a superhero movie. The room boomed with collaboration and professional development.

We discussed the following facts:
▶️ Women make up 35% of leadership roles in the affordable housing finance sector, a number that lags behind overall industry averages for women in leadership across sectors (Affordable Housing Finance Magazine, 2022).
▶️ Women are more represented at lower management levels and in non-executive roles, making up over 50% of the workforce in non-executive positions related to affordable housing finance (Urban Land Institute, 2021).

Female executives from Pennsylvania to Colorado and in between shared their experiences.

Voices were heard. Actions were taken. Lessons were learned.
